The Clacton Air Show returned to Essex again today (Thursday, August 23), with some incredible performances by the Red Arrows and the RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flight.

The 2018 event is the 27th year of flying over Clacton seafront, with more than 250,000 visitors expected in the area to be wowed by aerobatic displays and exhibition stands.

Along with the Red Arrows, the Clacton Air Show also saw the return of favourite acts Titan the Robot and twilight flights, who performed earlier this afternoon.

Pictures and videos from Clacton seafront show the moment the world famous Red Arrows display team took to the skies and performed a special flypast to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Royal Air Force.

The main event car park opens at 7.30am and closes at 6pm - costing £8.50 per car - while tickets for the park and ride can be purchased on the bus with cash or on the East Anglia Buses app with a discount.

More importantly though is what aerial displays are expected to take to the sky on Friday and what time they will be performing.
